Default Clownfish with Black Dots - Sick???

I noticed both of my Clowns have tiny black dots on there heads this morning. It is in one area only on the front white stripe. Is this an illness? They are active and eating. They do host a frogspawn.
I have attached a pic that I "sharpened" in photobucket to show the spots more. Anyone seen this before?

Hmmm... I can't tell (even tho it's a good pic) but it wouldn't hurt to google "black ich" or possible anemone stings. (If there is a 'nem in the tank, I don't know if frogspawn will do it? but it can leave areas of hyperpigmentation on your clowns.) Hope that helps!!

Hey,

darker though but i did nothing and they are gone. I have a frog spawn but

My female has a few spots in the same place. They don't look so much like spots as indentations.
